Four Canadians were asked what they would change about Canadian society. Speaker I I think that many citizens need to be more considerate of other people. People are out there driving like maniacs, listening to their music so loud it hurts people s ears, smoking in public places, littering the list goes on and on. I guess there is no law against being inconsiderate, but that does not mean you should be. Speaker II Canadian citizens need to show a little national pride. As far as I am concerned, Canada is the best county in the world, and I am not afraid to show it. There is no harm in getting out there and waving the flag once in a while, and not just on Canada Day. Speaker III Although Canada is pretty good at taking care of those in need, charity is still important. A tiny fraction of your time or money can make all the difference in the world to someone who is ill, lonely, or hungry. If we all pitched in to help one another, we could make Canada a place where no one suffers needlessly. Speaker IV One thing that really gets on my nerves is people who complain about taxes. Taxes benefit everyone. They provide money to pave the roads, clean the streets, and maintain the parks, among other things. How else are our children going to get a quality education? How else are we going to maintain our military? Personally, I have no problem at all paying taxes. 15) Which speaker s views concern citizens rights? (A) Speaker I (B) Speaker II (C) Speaker III (D) Speaker IV 2012 All rights reserved. 4 http://solaro.com/

Canada s Liberal government is rushing to enact an anti-terrorism bill that breaks with key tenets of British-Canadian jurisprudence tenets historically developed in the struggle against arbitrary and unfettered executive power. Bill C-36 establishes a new order of terrorist crimes for which the state will have special investigative and prosecutorial powers. These include preventive detention i.e. the right to incarcerate people on the mere suspicion they may be about to commit a crime; a new police power to compel testimony from anyone they believe has information pertinent to a terrorism investigation; closed trials; and a right of the prosecution, with a judge s approval, to deny an accused and his counsel full knowledge of the evidence against him. The definition of terrorism around which the legislation is constructed is so broad that it could be used to prosecute trade unionists involved in an illegal strike or those engaged in civil disobedience. Bill C-36 also greatly increases police powers of surveillance, while dramatically increasing the government s prerogative to suppress information about its activities. 19) The writer s view in the source is that Canadian Government action after September 2001 is (A) going too far in dealing with the issue of terrorism (B) weakening laws in dealing with the issue of terrorism (C) reinforcing laws in dealing with the issue of terrorism (D) not going far enough in dealing with the issue terrorism 2012 All rights reserved. 8 http://solaro.com/
